arthel: we begin with breaking news from georgia at this hour where there was an explosion at an apartment complex north of atlanta. the number of victims is unknown at this time. hello, everyone, and welcome to "fox news live," i'm arthel neville. eric: that explosion happened in dunwood, half an hour north of atlanta. multiple police and fire departments responding to that scene, one officer told fox news that some people were trapped inside of that rubble, others have been taken to the hospital including one person, we're told, with severe burns. the officer said that those on the scene did report a strong

odor of gas. the devastation caused with a gas leak or, charles watson live with the very latest. >> reporter: hey, eric. we're going to go over this again. the explosion happened about 15-20 minutes north of atlanta. police tell fox news that blast left several people trapped inside the apartment complex and sent several others to the hospital with injuries. take a look at some of the injuries we have coming in so you can see the extent of the damage caused by what looks like a very powerful explosion. some areas of the apartment complex appear to be completely leveled, and some of the videos we've been looking at on social media, some areas of the expeer to have i don't have -- exterior of the complex looked as if it was momented out. information is still pretty scarce, but police tell fox news they were called out to the about 1:30

local time this afternoon. officers arrived to heavy gas fumes coming from or near the building. according to local affiliates, officers started to evacuate residents from the complex when an explosion erupted injuring multiple people and trapping others inside. as i mentioned, the explosion was reportedly so powerful that it caused structural damage to nearby buildings. we do know some folks have been transported to area hospitals with severe burns, though the number of victims is unclear right now and the extent of those injuries are also unclear. local police say surrounding roads are closed, they are asking the public via twitter to stay clear of the area, and that would probably be a big help to first respond's who are working out there -- responders who are working out there because if you're familiar with this area, it is near perimeter mall and is almost always busy with vehicle and pedestrian traffic, easily thousands of people could be out at this time of day, and you don't want to put those folks in harm's way right now.

again, an explosion at an apartment complex just north of atlanta injuring multiple people, and there may be others trapped inside here. we're headed up to the scene in just a few minutes, and we'll try to bring more information to you about this story as it develops. back to you. eric: all right, charles. gas companies always say if you smell the odor of gas, please let them know. sadly, it can have devastating consequences. we will bring you updates as we get them. charles, thank you. arthel: yeah. man, that perimeter mall is a very busy area. we wish the people well. now to this, president biden now looking to turn the page after the chaotic afghanistan withdrawal, but his administration will be under fire when his top diplomat if testifies before congress week. if meantime, the white house is defending president biden's sweeping new vaccination mandate. that would affect some 80 million people. the republican governors are prepared to take the president to court, calling the mandate

unconstitutional. mark meredith is live in washington with more on this story. >> reporter: good afternoon. the white house shows no signs of backing down over its fight with these vaccine mandates, and the federal government is going to take a number of different steps including requiring employers that have more than 100 people that they mandate that they be vaccinated, those employees be vaccinated, or the people that opt out, they would have to get tested weekly. we also know more federal contractors and workers, they are also going to have to be required to be vaccinated if they want the keep their job, and the tsa now doubling the minimum fines for people who violate the mask mandates when they fly if, take a train or a bus. already close to 179 million people in this country are fully vaccinated, but the white house says it's still trying to reach some 80 million people who have yet to get the shot. the surgeon general was on the airwaves today eager to explain why he believes these new mandates are needed. >> we know that many, it will

help keep workplaces safe. and if we ultimately want to not only get people back to work, but keep them at work, let workers know, hey, i'm coming back and it's going to be safe, these vaccinations will help people do that. >> reporter: republicans are promising to challenge that. this week the president's off to idaho to get an update on how they're battling wildfires, he'll also be in california to campaign for governor gavin newsom ahead of the state's recall election this week. meanwhile, in d.c. lawmakers are going to be grilling secretary of state aptmy blinken on all things -- antony blinken on all things afghanistan. republicans say they've got a lot of questions they want answered. >> yeah. i want to hear from him why did go so bad? how did he get it so wrong? why didn't he listen to the intelligence community warnings since april and may of this last year telling us, telling me, that the taliban's going to take

over, the afghan army's going to fall, and the embassy would be in trouble many -- in trouble? >> reporter: lawmakers say they still want to hear from a number of other officials up on the hill about what was going on in afghanistan. the white house was asked on friday whether or not anybody was going to resign over this, and the white house said, no, there are no plans for anyone to resign due the what happened in afghanistan. arthel. arthel: all right. at the white house, mark meredith, thank you. eric? eric: only two days now to go until the highly anticipated california recall election. president biden will be in the golden state tomorrow to campaign for governor gavin newsom. we'll find out this week if he still has a job. marianne rafferty live in los angeles with the latest. >> reporter: gavin newsom taking full advantage to try and pull off a defeat in the recall. president biden will be stumping for him in long beach tomorrow. the president among top democrats to campaign for newsom including vp kamala harris and senator elizabeth warren. but gop front-runner larry erld

says the recall is not about political affiliation, but rather a referendum on change with hot button issue, essentially newsom's handling of pandemic. elder said at much on an interview on life, liberty and levin airing tonight. >> he shut down this state in a more severe way than did any of the other 49 states to the point now where a third of all small businesses are now gone forever, many of which were run by black, brown, asian-american people that gavin newsom claims he cares about. >> reporter: but newsom says a vote for erld would be a vote for trump policies and would actually set back pandemic progress. >> consequences of this election are pronounced. we could wake up to a republican governor who doesn't believe in mask wearing or vaccine verifications. debate whether or not we should have reparations for slave owners. you can't make this up. >> reporter: a recent poll

showing that 58% of likely voters intend to vote no on the recall to just 41% voting to remove newsom from office. and larry elder is holding a press conference this hour with actress and me too activist rose mcgowan who alleges the first partner attempted to intervene before weinstein accusers came forward. a spokesperson for newsom's wife saying, quote: what is being alleged is a complete fabrication. disappointing but not surprising that pretty if cam opponents launch these false attacks just days before the election. and governor newsom will be campaigning here in los angeles later today. eric: see the interview with larry elder tonight at 8 p.m. eastern here on the fox news channel, life, liberty and levin. >> i've been very clear, i think, a pause is necessary right now. we have the unknown, and that's

everything you've been talking about -- covid, what it'll do to the economy, inflation. people are talking to me in west virginia about the price of gas, about the price of everything they buy including their groceries, how it's affecting them. so i think we need to see what we're done right now and the effects we're having. arthel: west virginia senator joe manchin on his concern about inflation as his fellow democrats try to pass a massive $3.5 trillion spending package, senator manchin's vote will be crucial. let's bring in john bussey now, fox news contributor and "wall street journal" associate editor. so, john, i mean, are the president and pelosi, as in madam speaker, approaching these negotiations wrong? do they need to be more flexible at this juncture, perhaps more public support by better selling their plan to the american public? >> arthel, i think you're probably going to see some of that taking place behind closed

doors. are the programs going to be pared back that are part of the $3.5 trillion spending deal, will you maybe not see them pared back, but a time limit put on them? for example, funded right from the beginning so this congress can say to its progressive wing, we are getting the bill through at 3.5 trillion, but then it kind of phases out and future congresses have to refund it. there's a lot that's being negotiated. and senator manchin's not to --e only conservative democrat that has questions about the bill. there are a number of moderate democrats in the house that are also concerned whether or not they can get support from their constituencies. remember, the democrats need all 50 votes in the senate, and they can't lose more than 3 votes in the, in the democratic caucus in the house. and so this is going to be a tight rope walk right down to the finishing line. arthel: yeah, you're right.

and i want to take a look at what they have. we'll look at the democrats' checklist for september, september 12th, that is to pass a $1 trillion spending bill, finalize the $3.5 trillion package, pass short-term funding to avoid a government shutdown and raise the debt ceiling. so far they've done, what, one out of four? 25%'s a failing grade. so if president biden cannot get all the dems onboard as you were talking about, the maybe a few republicans, what would it mean for his presidency going forward and for the democrats come the midterms next november? i know it's a ways away, but this is all going to trickle down until then. >> yeah, this is crucial for him. i mean, this is his showcase bill that he wants to get through, an expansion of medicare benefits for those on medicare, preschool for kids, climate control measures. it's really the package of

campaign promises that he made. now, nancy pelosi has said, look, we understand that the senate has already approved the infrastructure bill at a trillion dollars and progressives in the house don't want to move ahead on that until they get the $3.5 trillion spending package pushed forward. but, you know, we'll do something by september 27th on infrastructure, she said. now, there are a lot of dates, as you point out, that are looming, including, as you say is, october 1 they have to raise the debt ceiling. some of this, i suspect, like the debt ceiling -- we have a piece on wsj.com right now on this, but probably is going to result in a continuing resolution. in other words, once again congress is going to kick do the can down -- kick the can down the road. arthel: i want to play some sound from bernie sanders this morning saying the infrastructure bill could fail if the $3.5 trillion is not fasted. let's listen.

not passed. >> what we have worked on is working both of those bills in tandem. they go together. and it would be a really sad is state of affairs for the american people, for congress if both of those bills went down. arthel: do you think that's possible, that that could happen right now? >> yeah. arthel: that is not a great vote of confidence. republicans got that love it. however, john bussey, is it enough for the gop to passively and actively block the biden agenda and still expect to regain control of congress? >> well, hard to say is. everybody seems to want the infrastructure bill. the republicans as well because that spending will be in their districts. now, whether or not or bernie sanders is kind of playing politics here and in a way holding the infrastructure bill hostage to the bigger spending bill, i'll leave that to to you. i think, you know, it's negotiating tactics. but remember, biden also has a huge problem right now with the coronavirus, and this is going

to affect what the congress can spend and what the congress can expect in terms of economic expansions to fund some of these programs. he's battling a lot of misinformation that's being spread by commentators that are negative on vaccines and spreading information, misinformation on masking that's resulting in more children and adults going to the hospital with the coronavirus. so he's fighting that fight, he's fighting the legislative fight. let's not forget he's going to be asked to -- he's going to be held to account by his own party and the republicans for the really messy, catastrophic withdrawal from afghanistan. a lot of investigative time is going to go into that. he's going to have to provide some answers to congress. arthel: yeah. it's really sad to see those people on the gurneys in their last breath saying get the vaccination, i wish i had -- >> it's tragic. vaccines help, masks help. how many times this needs to be said before people end up in the

hospital sick, it truly is tragic. and it's a big problem that the nation should have solved by now. we're falling behind the rest of the world on this, and we shouldn't be. we should be out ahead. arthel: absolutely. john bussey, thank you. >> pleasure. eric: the fbi releasing highly secret documents about saudi arabia and nerve, but our government, you know, they're still holding some of the classified revelations back. coming up, who backed the terrorists, who paid for their fliesing lessons -- flying lessons and who helped them? ♪ ♪ at usaa, we've been called too exclusive. because we only serve those who honorably served. all ranks, all branches, and their families. are we still exclusive? absolutely. and that's exactly why you should join. ok everyone, our mission is to provide complete, balanced nutrition for strength and energy.

their grief, including kids who have now spent 20 years never knowing a relative. >> even though i never met you in person, i still miss you a lot. mom always tells you all the crazy fun things you did, and i'm sure if you were here, i'd probably be doing them with you. >> reporter: later in the day the president ordering the declassification of documents that have long been she shielded from the public. in this first 16-page document, it does not actually provide proof that saudi governmental officials were involved in the event. the report does detail the interview of a saudi man in the u.s. who had contact with saudi nationals who provided travel assistance, lodging and financing to two hijackers. the kingdom has not responded to yesterday's document release but did release a statement last week saying it had long called for transparency. after the reading of -- the releasing of the documents, members of the 9/11 families

united issued a statement saying, quote: even with the unfortunate number of redactions, the report contains a host of bombshell new revelations implicating numerous saudi government officials in a coordinated effort to mobilize the essential support network for the first-arriving and 9/11 hijackers. this is the first document released of its kind. president joe biden has ordered the declassification of more reports within the next six months. arthel? arthel: we'll be watching for that release. alex hogan live in our new york city newsroom, thank, alex. eric? eric: despite the two decades since 9/11 and the longest war our nation has ever fought, today the same people who helped al-qaeda pull off the attacks, well, as you know, they're back in full control of afghanistan. all of it raising the question of whether or not we really are safer now than that terrible day back in 2001. former secretary of state condoleezza rice recalled she watched 9/11 unfold from inside the white house.

>> we've lost the eyes and ears on the ground in afghanistan. that helped us to know where the terrorists were. i'd be the first to say we've lost some of the capabilities, but that shouldn't diminish the capabilities that that we still have. we do -- we are still safer. i hope we can remain that safe into the future. eric: retired u.s. army major joins us, he served in active duty for 34 years and is author of the book, "hunting the caliphate." general certainly knows about the hazards and the dangers we face. thank you, general, for coming here, and thank you for your service. in terms of our safety, more new concerns mow that the taliban has taken over afghanistan? >> good afternoon, eric. first of all, we remember the nearly 3,000 innocent lives that were murdered 20 years ago in

new york city, at the pentagon and in pennsylvania. i agree with donald condoleezzan many ways, that we are safer from a structural standpoint as far as cooperation between the fbi, cia and other agencies to now coordinate and cooperate routinely which wasn't done in the past. we now have homeland security. but as far as how feel about afghanistan with the taliban in charge, i feel terrible about it. the taliban have got terrorists in their government which either that means they're a terrorist state, or they're at least allowing terrorists to exist in afghanistan, and that's something we're going to have to deal with. eric: structurally, you're right, we are -- in a sense, have beefed-up security in our country since 9/11. you've got more screening, security, the patriot act and other measures to try and deal

with terrorism. but what about the loss of intelligence assets on the ground, the eyes and ears that ms. rice talked about on the ground that are so is badly needed when you have operations so far away? >> yeah, i concur. in fact, i wish we had thought about that as a country before the last administration, the trump administration, wanted to leave afghanistan, and that was continued by the biden administration of just leaving afghanistan but not they can of then what, the strategic value of having bagram air base and the strategic platform of afghanistan to take on terrorism in the region. but we had a small footprint there of 2500 troops which was allowing afghanistan at least to be some level of stability. so i wish we had thought that through. the concept of over the horizon operations without having boots on the ground and troops on the ground in afghanistan is going to be extremely difficult and complex.

not impossible, but definitely difficult. eric: yeah, talk about those difficulties and the obstacles and the challenges of having that over the horizon capability the president touts. clearly though, some think that's not enough. >> i concur. in fact, not having boots on the ground, intelligence assets on the ground, you can only do so much from are remote stations. and without bases surrounding afghanistan, because afghanistan's got pakistan, it's got iran on one side, it's even borders with china. there's uzbekistan that can be semi-helpful, but it's not like having boots on the ground there. so it will be much more difficult. and, in fact, we had the terrorists really on the defensive because we were aggressively going after the terrorists. and now it appears that maybe we're on the strategic defensive, and that's not where you want to be. eric and finally from a geopolitical and military standpoint, pakistan snuggling

up to the taliban, and china -- what happens if china moves in and takes over bagram? >> yeah, that's a terrible thought, and we're hearing things about that where china wants to have rights of use of the bagram air base. that would be terrible. we put so much money, time and many structural things into bagram air base, it's a wonderful air base. eric: retired major general danny pittard we face an uncertain future on this front of we are safer, hopefully it will remain that way. thank you again for your service. >> thank you, eric. eric: of course. arthel? arthel: all right. are you ready for some football in are the players ready to get vaccinated? the nfl's vaccine scorecard up next. we will talk to a doctor who treats some of the biggest names in pro sports. ♪ ♪ age is just a number. and mine's unlisted. try boost® high protein

eric: here's a look at some of the otr stories we're following fur you at this hour -- for you at this hour. americans mourned two marines killed in afghanistan last month. the body of sergeant by car doe was escorted to her hometown, and today thousands watched a military procession for corporal roberto sanchez, among the 13 american service members killed by that suicide bomber in kabul. their lives and they will not be forgotten. a major california freeway back open after a wildfire forced a shutdown. the fire starting yesterday about 40 miles knot of los angeles and -- north of los angeles and quickly spread leading crews to shut down a mile of interstate 5, that's a big one. at least two firefighters did suffer burn injuries. and spacex says it will launch the first all-civilian

space flight including a billionaire businessman to who footed the bill, a college professor, an air force veteran and a health care worker at st. jude's research hospital are going up into space. the doctor donated $100 million to st. jude's, helping that fine facility. arthel: well, vaccination rates keep slowly rising across the nation. the cdc says more than 209 million americans have received at least one dose with almost 54% of the total population now fully vaccinated. but the nfl opens its new season with nearly 94% of players vaccinated. the atlanta falcons, tampa bay buccaneers, las vegas raiders, well, they are all fully vaccinated. bucs' qb tom brady still says covid is likely to be a factor this season. let's bring in a surgeon from new york, head team physician

for the brooklyn nets. just call him the boss. right, dr. williams? [laughter] okay. >> arthel, always good to be with you. arthel: likewise. happy to have you. so, listen, the majority of nba players, as we said, were vaccinated. i spoke to you earlier to get some background. you were explaining to me that the majority of the players, i'm not sure how many, but the majority of the basketball players were vaccinated by the end of the season that ended last july. the nfl now opens its season 94%, 93.5% of the players vaccinated, 98% of the staff and coaches. so is this the new standard in sport, and is sports leading the way for other businesses? >> well, i mean, they got through the season last year, obviously, with a lot of questions about transmissibility and such. and basically, what we're observing in all the sports leagues a lot more strident policy in and around vaccination. let's just face it, it's good

business. if an unvaccinated player goes under covid protocol in the nfl, that is a severe blow to the team in a team sport which is so reliant on their players being available. so you can imagine being out for, you know, upwards of 10-14 days and an unvaccinated player who has a covid exposure or gets covid versus a vaccinated player who may happen to have a positive test or breakthrough test, that's usually a short amount of time, maybe perhaps a few days. let's face it, it's good business for the nfl to be employing these policies that would encourage their players to get vaccinated. arthel: yeah. i want to read an excerpt from a washington post article that was written yesterday. it says, quote: no major league had instituted a vaccination requirement for its players, instead stressing education and incentives. but some leagues and teams have vaccine mandates for staffers. so my question to you, dr. williams, still the nfl, by

the way, would like to do this or is interested in a vaccine requirement for all players, the nfl players' association not onboard at this time. but like you were saying, one player out with covid affects the whole team. might the nfl use that notion -- and, again, it would get down to almost like a business model -- to persuade the reluctant players to get vaccinated, and do you think it would work on the players? >> well, listen, having high rates of vaccination, obviously, is going to enhance player availability. that is an uncontrovertible fact. it is what it is. keep in mind one of the reasons why the policies are not just implemented unilaterally is because these negotiations are always a back and forth between the players' unions and all the leagues, the administering leagues. so so it's very easy for an employer perhaps saying, hey, we

employ you, we mandate that you have this vaccination or you have to go. but the players have lagged a little bit only because you have to have that back and forth with their union, and so there's that issue that must be taken into consideration. with regards to, you know, leading the way with regards to businesses as the entire country, i'm sure, was hoping this fall to get back into the office, get back into what we'd all agree was a normal sort of commuter, office-based business model, the delta variant obviously threw a little bit of a wrench in that. however, this wide-ranging entertainment complex -- nfl are, nba, mlb -- is so reclient upon just the execution of these games as a great model that basically is going to allow us to look at, you know, what is the real risk of being together, not socially distanced, not wearing a mask when vaccination

rates are so high. the nfl really should be lauded. i mean, these rates well above 93% are absolutely great news to hear. while i'm not involved with the nfl directly, my gut tells me that they're going to carry this off in spectacular fashion and should be way different than last year where, as you know, covid played a big role with regards to teams and players and even in this current preseason we saw some very high profile players released from teams not only, obviously, because of going into covid protocol, but, you know, when you have a short preseason and you miss a week, inevitably that's going to have an effect on your performance and your ability to be evaluated. so, yes, i think we're looking at a model that could be easily applied to regular business. arthel: cam newton, as you well know, he got cut by the patriots, and it's not just about covid, but that's a whole

other subject. we're not touching that, i'm not either. not at all. we're moving on. so, dr. williams, i just am wondering, quickly, if you think you'll see more professional athletes maybe doing some psas and encouraging fans to get vaccinated? do you think they'll step up to that plate? is that around the corner possibly? >> i do, i do. and i'm going to shout out my team. they did a very nice public service announcement basically encouraging the public to get vaccinated. here in new york, new york state, you're unable to get into a venue without being vaccinated or there are going to be some severe restrictions. so i think we're just moving along. everybody wants to get back to normal. the fda approving the pfizer vaccine that, obviously, was a huge step in the right direction with regards to, you know, maybe, you know, allaying some of the fears or relieving some of the anxiety of kind of

wondering about it. i'll just go on the record and say i was vaccinated the day that it was available as a physician on the front line seeing emergency patients and such. i think these vaccines were a miracle and,ing hopefully, we can continue to see increasing populations of people getting vaccinated so we can finally put away these masks and get back to life as we knew it before this all started. arthel: i like it. i'm vaccinated as well. dr. riley williams, thank you so much. we'll see you again. eric? eric: arthel, this weekend we, of course, marked 9/11. and as part of that, we remember and honor to heroism of the passengers and crew of united airlines flight 93. todd beemer's unforgettable -- beamer's unforgettable words, let's roll, that became a rallying crying if or flower -- for our nation. now the bravery of the passengers and crew of that plane, it's the inspiration behind a new award.

him out. there's another guy back in the back trying to get some air. so i grabbed him and pulled him out. >> reporter: he saved three men that day. >> i can't swim. i wasn't thinking about that. my adrenaline -- >> reporter: i'm sorry, you jumped in water to help them, and you can't swim? >> yes, sir. >> reporter: we're talking about this, and you're getting emotional? >> yes, sir. >> reporter: why are you getting emotional? >> because flight 93, the passengers up there put themselves in danger to save other lives. and, you know, i feel honored just to be here. >> reporter: it's so wonderful the meet you. >> i remember my brother. i remember how great he was with his brother. >> reporter: the 40 passengers and crew, strangers and unarmed, fought back against the 9/11 hijackers. the plane crashed into a field

preventing an attack on our nation's capital. >> we don't need to be reminded, but this next generation, they don't have those memories. so it's our job to tell them the story. >> reporter: this year a chalk artists gathered at the memorial to draw 40 portraits. it's yet another effort to honor and remember their sacrifice. >> these are modern day heroes who made a courageous decision on september 11th, and we don't want to forget them. >> reporter: the winner of the flight 93 heroes' award was a firefighter from detroit who died while saving three children from drowning. in shanksville is, pennsylvania, bryan llenas, fox news. eric: the flight 93 heroes award showing that the spirit of helping, the spirit of bravery still part of our american soul. we'll be back in just a moment. i don't just play someone brainy on tv - i'm an actual neuroscientist.
